Simo Dladla, a former coach at Richards Bay who is currently with Swallows, believes the left-back will succeed with the Glamour Boys, according to a report by SowetanLIVE.

“He will give them a lot of balance. He is not clumsy. I mean, he is not a guy who will get reckless and get unnecessary yellow cards or red cards. He also has an eye for goal and Chiefs have signed a good player here," said Dladla.

Mashiane, 23, was sent off with the help of VAR for a dangerous challenge on Al Ahly's right-back Akram Tawfik, and the Red Devils made the most of their numerical advantage.

“Happy must take this as a lesson and an experience that will come in handy in his career. This is not his fault and this must serve as a lesson to everyone in the team," said Motaung according to SowetanLIVE.
